He was also set to headline the Byron Bay Bluesfest, but the event has also been cancelled.
Lenny was forced to pull out of Bluesfest in 2015 due to ‘scheduling conflicts’.
He said of his connection to the NSW town: ‘I love it there, I’m going other places but obviously Byron is very special to me and has been since my first trip there, I love it so much.’
As on Tuesday afternoon, there are a reported 450 cases of coronavirus in Australia and five deaths.
